Actually, that backglass looks rather bad to me - lots of missing paint all over.

I had called the first time these went up and was told they were sold. Called again with the relisting and was told the owner has "parted them out". Someone told him the King Kool backglass was worth $1000 and apparently he wasn't able to figure out how to remove the backbox. So, he literally cut the back box off and clipped off all the wires. He'll sell the machine including the severed head for $150. The backglass, however, costs another grand. Pretty sad considering in the first ad, the playfield looked really good and the backglass did appear to be perfect.
The Jolly Roger is trashed with a backglass that is cracked and has severe flaking. It's been partly parted out. There is also considerable wear around the flippers area which has been 'cleverly' hidden. LOL

One issue is the lights went out on the playing field. I know it's a loose wire and I found the wiring schematic but I don't't know how to read it! I located two places in Cumming who said they could easily repair it but I don't't want to move it twice! So the low price reflects this. If you are handy with electricity you can probably fix it for nothing. Or I can provide the repair shop info and you can take it straight there after buying. They may be able to fix it while you wait, TBD."

Right?!! It's ridiculous...to the point where it seems a lot of folks now are listing games at $100 or $200, and then just seeing how high it will climb with offers. A waste of time for the first few people that rush to contact them or those of us always on the lookout (cough...Ryan...LOL). Guilty myself as well 
People aren't bothering to stick with a "great deal price", or even really trying to choose a decent price for hobbyists. It's the market boys and girls...it jumps up and down, and right now it seems to be on an upswing again, unfortunately. When you see two Williams Flash pins sell for $800+ in good condition, that's definitely a sign of pinflation.
But as everyone says, not trying to taint this thread with negativity. Sorry Pecos. Just missed out on two games this week listed for a good price, then the seller asked if I could do better than another offer they had received (after I was already scheduled to come look at and probably buy the game). Lost out on both games.
There's always tomorrow....or I can just get all the pins I have working 100% finally. LOL
Quoted from Colsond3:It's the market boys and girls...it jumps up and down, and right now it seems to be on an upswing again, unfortunately.
I'm definitely seeing this in the project pin prices I am seeing. And it seems to be happening to all pins right now. I just posted an Old Chicago for $650 because that is the lowest price I have seen in months. I have been using $500 as the cut-off point for posting project pins. But with more people out there wanting pinball machines, I might be posting a few over $500 in the near future.
Quoted from Colsond3:Sorry Pecos.
No offense taken!

That is a real bummer. I found a fantastic price on a couple of pinball machines last November and I offered to send him $100 up front, but not after research on the seller to check for obvious scams and a lot of talk on the phone. I wouldn't recommend this for most purchases, but this seemed to be a special case and I took the risk - it was for the only pinball on my wish-list. It worked out in the end and I ended up giving him more than he asked. Sellers love it when you give more than agreed to and I am glad to do it in order to have another project pin, a very special pin, to work on!
Quoted from Colsond3:People aren't bothering to stick with a "great deal price"
There are several other ways to try to lock in a pinball sale that I have used successfully. You can offer more up front or show up at the sellers door in an hour or less, if local.

I recently got very lucky on a project Black Hole at a good price, when I went to pick it up, discovered it had all brand new boards and displays too, and the guy wouldn't even accept when I tried to give him more money as I loaded it up!
I've tried a few times to offer part or full down payments to lock something in, sadly people tend to hate things like Paypal...

I did this same thing for my Hay-Ride. Paid him in full, actually (but it was only $150, so...y'know...didn't want to paypal him $100 and then mess around with a measly $50). It's a good thing I did, too. When I got to the seller's house (after chatting for a while and getting the pin in our ride) I asked if he'd had much interest in his ad. He said, "Yah, there's been about 30 other people who called after you."
I'm sure he wouldn't have held it for some out-of-state wacko (me) if I hadn't paid up front. To his credit, he was incredibly honest and held the game for me.
